Random Updates: Feeling a Little Heroica... With Crazy Hats!

My daughter and I broke out one of the Heroica games the other day and much laughter ensued.  For those that might have missed them, these were games released by Lego back in 2011.  The twist is that you can build the board in any way that you want since they are Legos after all.


This is a very simple game but one of the things that had us cracking up was the description of what you do with the dead monsters.  I don't remember the precise wording but they basically tell you to put them in your backpack. Now imagine these tiny microfigures with no arms are somehow throwing dead zombies and bats into their backpacks.  Why would you wonder around with a couple of corpses in your backpack?  No idea, but for some reason they thought it would be a good idea!  Of course since they are Lego we decided on a "better" solution and were competing to see who could get the tallest "hat".


In the end, my daughter managed to snatch away victory by having the most impressive hat.  Sure, I might have saved the king but that's nothing compared to the sheer majesty of the mighty zombie hat.
